Unfaithful and disappointing

It's just sad when carefully constructed lore is dismissed in favor of flashy, unnecessary fight scenes and poor character development. This movie does a vast disservice to the mythos....

Absolutely AMAZING...... Don't pay attention to the bad reviews!!!!!

By barrel_rider

Trust in Peter Jackson. Honestly I was terrified to see the movie from reading all of the reviews. But I was completely blown away by the second installment. People who say that it strayed away...

The Desolation of Peter Jackson

By dancingforhispleasur

It would appear, for some strange and unforeseeable reason, that Director/Co-writer Peter Jackson is not himself these days. Having viewed and admired (at one point or another) a large chunk of...

An awesome movie :)

By nightstigers

While not completely true to the book the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug is an awesome watch! Definately worth watching while its in theatres! There is some embelishment on some parts for the purposes of...

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug

By piercejscott

If you pretend the movie is not about Tolkien's world and the treasured book named in the title, and if you try NOT to imagine Tolkien not only rolling OVER in his grave, but actually rising from it...

Bloated Excess

I usually LOVE this type of movie

By willvectorforfood

I usually LOVE this type of movie. I'm a big fan of LOTR and the whole fantasy genre. But this movie, despite the great richness of it's scenery, is dull and streches into boredom. My daughters,...

Dissapointing.

By Montserrat84

It was like watching a segment of a story. Lot of action and running but not impressed with screenplay. I'm fan of The Lord of the Rings, but ...... the movie ends and you say uh!...

It all depends on your faith in the book.

By cindy_l_thomas

For those of you who are die-hard Tolkien fans - you are going to be very disappointed. Other than the name of the movie and perhaps 25% of the movie, it bears little resemblance to the book....

Terrible ending of desolation of smaug

By suzantorres

I cant believe that they ended the movie where they did! Now we again have to wait months to see what happens. They could easily end at a different point in the story and still get people ready to...
